Eat seasonal Buy local

It's late May in the Pacific Northwest and my favorite time of the year. The persistent rain is behind us for now and you can feel the aliveness of nature all around. One of the most enjoyable things of this time of the year is the reopening of farmers markets. You can save money and support the local economy by knowing what is in season and buying from local farmers. This week Asparagus, Beets, Apples Spinach, and Cauliflower are all among the produce that's "in season". How do I know this? You can check weekly for what's fresh at http://www.sustainabletable.org/shop/eatseasonal/. Also, if you are looking for recipes that will include your produce, check out this great resource at http://www.whfoods.org/recipestoc.php

In health,

Dr. Rinde
